The Exquisite Comology of The Urantia Book Depicted by Artist, Gary Tonge

from The Cosmic Citizen · host Paula Thompson

This week the extraordinary artist, Gary Tonge, will join us to talk about his motivaton and inspiration in creating graphic depictions based on The Urantia Book. His drive to make these works as accurate as they are beautiful and inspirational has relied in part on our own resident scholar, Andre Radatus. Andre and Gary have worked together to present this episode. Gary is serious about recreating the cosmic places described in The Urantia Book and will expound on the importance of a coherent way to use this revelation more deeply; in unity with true science, real spiritual insight, and true philosophical reasoning. Gary's depictions of the Local Universe and Grand Universe are being used all over the web, by Urantia students and many others.  Gary is a professional artist with over 25 years experience in a variety of roles, most recently as a conceptual artist and art director. He is also a published author and writer and is now working as a creative consultant. Gary has been a student of the Urantia Book since 1997 and would consider himself “creatively cosmological” in his initial approach to the the book. “When I first got my hands on The Urantia Book I was immediately enthralled by the comprehensive nature of how it described the Universe. I'd previously been very interested in human cosmology, but had a niggling feeling that it fell short of cosmic truth and became embroiled in the art of intelligent guessing.” He believes through earnest study; The Urantia Book is (among many other things) the revealed truth lens for making sense of the unexplainable observations we see in the cosmos as well as the qualification of the history of our world.
